Topic: Doppelbock recipes (Read 12151 times)

Believe it or not, I've never brewed a doppelbock. My window of opportunity for brewing lagers is so short that I just haven't gotten around to it. So, I'm looking for a great doppelbock recipe. I'd prefer one that doesn't need decoction, although I might be able to talk myself into if I have the time. Step mash is OK. So, anybody got anything for me? (BTW, I already checked the recipe wiki).

I was also thinking about brewing a dopplebock because I'll have a yeast cake of Munich Lager (2308)ready in another week from a Vienna Lager batch. I had some Spaten Optimator on tap last Sept at a German American Fest and it was delicious. If I could make something close to that I would be very happy.
